How Your Sleep Patterns Can Impact Gut Health?
- Are you having trouble maintaining a consistent sleep schedule? Do you find yourself feeling groggy and tired during the week but wide awake on the weekends? Well, a recent study from King's College London and personalized nutrition company ZOE has found links between social jet lag, changes in sleeping patterns between workdays and free days, and diet quality, habits, inflammation, and gut microbiome in the same group. The study suggests that even small variations in sleep timing during the week can be associated with differences in gut bacteria, which can affect your health positively or negatively by producing toxins or beneficial metabolites. The findings suggest that improving the consistency of sleep times may lead to better gut health and related outcomes.
- The study evaluated blood, stool, and gut microbiome samples and glucose measurements in 934 individuals, comparing those with irregular sleep patterns to those with a consistent sleep schedule. This cohort was mostly composed of healthy individuals who slept for at least seven hours per night during the week. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between social jet lag and metabolic risk factors.
- The research has found that shift work disturbs the body clock and can lead to weight gain, heart problems, and diabetes. The food you eat also affects your microbiome, which can be adjusted to increase its diversity. Certain microbes can increase the risk of long-term health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
- The study suggests that even a 90-minute difference in the midpoint of sleep can impact gut microbiome composition, which highlights the significance of maintaining consistent sleep patterns. The findings offer valuable insights into the relationship between sleep patterns and gut health, and the importance of understanding the microbiome and how it affects our overall health.
